Dark Sun 2e Distance Calculator

#1

A long time ago we did a distance calculator, it was a mess of tables. Then Gab converted it to a quick little webapp. Now, we've brought it back. Please note that these are only distances for 2e Dark Sun, not the much larger 4th edition map. Dark Sun 2e Distance Calculator

Hi! Do you think it would be possible to have a new version with 4e distances and/or more places? If it helps, I would provide a table with the different distances.

At the moment I have a spreadsheet with the distances between different places, but it doesn’t calculate the distance between places that have intermediate points (ex. Tyr to Fort Skonz, ok; Tyr to Altaruk ko)

I realize this is a reply two and a half years later, but for what it’s worth, here is a portion of the original table that was used to generate the distances with the miles used in the program.
I added a x3 multiplier to get the 4e distances which seems to be consistent with the 4e map. YMMV.

I’ve also noticed that sometimes the calculator won’t always give the the shortest distance between two locations. For example Raam to Urik gives a different path and thus different overall distance result than Urik to Raam.

Same with Altaruk to Draj and Draj to Altaruk.

Also, from what I understand, this calculator only considers the paths that link two points of useable trade routes with a “road” per the map. Which is why a distance from Nibenay to Gulg is like 234 miles and not more like 30 miles.

And one last thing.

Here is a table of distances of major cities and trade hubs. In the case of the same locations that had different from/to distances, as mentioned above, I went with the shortest.

I’ve spent a lot of time out in the desert; everything is further than it looks.
